Golden Gaytime Bliss Balls

This is a variation of the Healthy Golden Gaytime Easter Eggs. This time using blitzed up dark chocolate to roll them in for a little chocolate hit! You can use cocoa/cacoa powder or drinking chocolate to roll them in instead, however I like the blitzed chocolate for some texture!

This is most definitely the BEST bliss ball I've ever eaten - I ate a few before it even hit the fridge!! #nomnomnom




Golden Gaytime Bliss Balls


GOLDEN GAYTIME BLISS BALLS

Ingredients:

50 grams dark chocolate
100 grams oats
150 grams medjool dates (pitted)
10 grams chia seeds
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
10 grams maple syrup
40 grams coconut oil
25 grams rice bubbles/puffed rice

Method (Thermomix):

1. Add the dark chocolate to the bowl - blitz 10 seconds/speed 7. Set aside.
2. Add the oats, dates, chia seeds, vanilla, maple syrup and coconut oil - mix 15 seconds/Speed 8.
3. Add the rice bubbles - mix 15 seconds/Speed 2/Reverse.
4. Use a teaspoon to measure out a spoonful of mixture and roll/shape into an ball shape (make sure to get excess rice bubbles from the bottom of the bowl so that you get an even mixture)
5. Roll the ball in the set aside dark chocolate and place in fridge to set for at least an hour.

Method (Blender/Food Processor):

1. Add the dark chocolate and blitz until fine. Set aside.
2. Add the oats, dates, chia seeds, vanilla, maple syrup and coconut oil - mix until all the ingredients are combined.
3. Add the rice bubbles and do a quick turbo mix, you may need to further mix with a spoon/spatula - try not to blend it too much as you may lose the rice bubble crunch!
4. Use a spoon to measure out a spoonful of mixture and roll/shape into an ball shape (make sure to get excess rice bubbles from the bottom of the bowl so that you get an even mixture)
5. Roll the ball in the set aside dark chocolate and place in fridge to set for at least an hour.

  1. Yum made them today. Definitely needs the time to harden up in the fridge. I was amazed the rice bubbles didn't go soggy. They stay nice and crunchy. Thanks for a great recipe

  2. HI, just wondering what I could sub the oats for as i can't have them. Do you think Almond meal would taste similar? Thanks.
